Baby Bedding

I'm really hoping that this baby is a boy cause if not we are so in the hole with money and baby items! Lol. Okay, not really but all the things we did buy so far are geared towards a boy- and they have all been on sale or discounted ;) Aren't you proud mom??? :)


Today we bought some of the bedding for the nursery. Since the one we want isn't in stores and we can't register for it if we have a baby shower- that's a whole other story- we figured our best bet is to just eat the cost and buy it ourself. Thankfully I looked online and found a couple near us who was selling theirs that their baby barely used. It was in PERFECT condition and a great price. And tonight I found the decorations for it as well! But the seller is in CA so if we agree on a price they'd have to ship it which I am not so sure about. Any who, here's a pic of what a completed room would look like...if we ever get there :)

Isn't it cute??? Very Chris if you ask me! He even has his baby blanket from childhood that he wants the baby to have- precious I must say!

A bit of a scare...but all good in the end :)

The past few days I've been having these sharp pains in my lower abdomen and I kinda chalked it up to growing pains but finally today I couldn't take it anymore and no one in the Medicaid program would see me until I got my approval so I called my old OB's office, explained what was going on with the pains and insurance. The said come in for a reg office visit but my OB is out of town. So the nurse did Triage on me and called me back and said another doc in the practice wants me to come in ASAP. I went in thinking everything was ok cause I wasn't too concerned to start with but my blood pressure was high...again...they found white blood cells in my urine, and seemed very concerned about what was going on. The doc came in did an u/s and the bean was there waving away! It had a heart rate of 148, and she said everything looked good. She did say "Wow that's a big baby" when she first saw it though...lol. But she was worried about my ovaries and possible appendicitis. So they sent me to an imaging center for another u/s. Chris wasn't able to get to me in time but got freaked out once I told him about what the doc said so he rushed to meet me in time for the 2nd u/s. I was hoping he'd get a quick peek at our little bean since he missed the other one!

The imaging center wouldn't let Chris in the room cause she said she wasn't going to do anything baby related so I basically guilted her into giving us a pic so he could finally see it.


Isn't the baby HUGE?!? lol.....but so darn cute I must say ;)
